The only thing that stops the dust is the rain. It’s a sweet reprieve, but there is no middle ground. The land is either as dry as the Betty Ford clinic, or as wet as the ocean floor. Everything can be seen from the ridge overlooking Armadillo as John Marston gently bounces along atop...

How much money have you spent on video gaming in the past "generation" of consoles? Mine has passed into the thousands, and seeing what those games are worth today when I took them into Gamestop, I'm not entirely happy with my purchasing decisions. Why do games lose so much value so fast?

On that point I will agree, I've been very happy with this generation. I feel like the visual stuff added to the ability to tell a story visually and not just by words and text made a big impact on my enjoyment._________________It's okay to just have fun sometimes.

I look forward to finishing college without student loan debt. Maybe then I will have enough money to get most of my games outside of steam sales._________________“I do like metaphorical heroin and my heroin dealer. EA”

Doesn't feel too painful because it's all spread out, and the cash/hours ratio is still pretty huge (Oblivion, anyone?).

So even after thinking about how much i spend on gaming over these years, it's still no where near as bad as what i've spent on cars over the same period ('round $35k), so at least it doesn't hurt too much.

The true pain comes from looking at things you shouldn't have had to spend. 5x years of XBL Gold for me is $350. Play and charge kit x3 is $90, replacement 360s for dead ones (2x Elites, $600-700), the only time i ever supported that cunting practice of charging for online features for used games - $10. Various other bullshit accessories, etc.
Those are the sorts of things that hurt.
Could've had a nice holiday in New Zealand summer for that wasted money._________________http://i.imgur.com/uXwrTYA.jpg
